Engineered for Durability and High-Traffic Applications
The LCN 4040XP Series is built to handle the rigors of high-traffic environments. Whether it’s a bustling office building, a busy hospital, or a high-traffic retail space, this door closer is designed to withstand constant use and abuse. The 4040XP features a high-strength cast iron cylinder, forged steel arm, and a double heat-treated steel pinion, ensuring it can endure the toughest conditions without compromising performance.
The cast iron cylinder provides rugged performance and a longer lifespan, while the single-piece, heat-treated forged steel arms offer superior resistance to bending and breaking. The heat-treated 1-1/2″ diameter piston adds extra strength and durability, making the 4040XP a reliable choice for any high-traffic door.
Quality and Reliability
One of the key attributes of the LCN 4040XP Series is its unwavering reliability. The door closer is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 rated, which is the highest standard for door closers, ensuring top-notch performance and durability. It meets ADA reduced opening force requirements, making it accessible for all users, and is cUL listed and UL listed for self-closing doors without hold-open, guaranteeing compliance with safety regulations.
The 4040XP is also backed by a 30-year limited warranty, underscoring LCN’s confidence in the product’s longevity and reliability. This extended warranty period provides peace of mind to building managers and facility owners, knowing that their investment is protected.
Enhanced Installation and Maintenance
Recent enhancements to the 4040XP Series have made installation and maintenance faster, easier, and more accurate. One of the standout features is the LCN Green Dial, which takes the guesswork out of spring power adjustments. This intuitive adjustment mechanism ensures that the door closer is set to the appropriate power level for the specific application, improving overall performance and extending the product’s life.
The peel-n-stick templates included with the 4040XP Series allow for quick and precise installation. These templates ensure that installers can accurately position the door closer without the need for extensive measurements or adjustments, saving time and reducing the potential for errors.
Additionally, the new patent-pending positive stop improves staking and prevents the screw from being backed out, while the patent-pending regulation valve indicators provide a visual reference for screw adjustment locations. These updates make the adjustment process faster, easier, and more consistent, ensuring that the door closer is set up correctly every time.
The redesigned snap-fit cover with patent-pending retention fit adds another layer of convenience, making it easier to install and remove the cover without compromising its secure fit. This feature, combined with the labeled regulation valves and a diagram of the door swing, simplifies the installation and maintenance process, making it accessible even for less experienced technicians.
Flexibility and Adaptability
The LCN 4040XP Series is designed with flexibility in mind, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its universal non-handed design allows it to fit more applications with a single product, reducing the need for multiple different closers. This non-handed design ensures that the door closer can be installed on both left-hand and right-hand doors, providing maximum adaptability.
The 4040XP offers a full range of mount and arm options, including hinge pull side, push side top jamb, and push side parallel arm. This versatility allows it to be used in various door configurations, making it a versatile solution for different installation requirements. The adjustable spring sizes (1-6) further enhance its adaptability, ensuring that the door closer can be fine-tuned to match the specific needs of each application.
Performance in All Conditions
The 4040XP Series is designed to perform consistently in all weather conditions. The use of LCN’s all-weather Liquid X fluid ensures that the door closer operates smoothly and reliably, regardless of temperature changes. This consistency is crucial for maintaining the door’s functionality in environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as entryways exposed to the elements.
The door closer also features independent speed adjustments, allowing for greater control over the door’s closing and latching speeds. This level of control ensures that the door operates smoothly and safely, reducing the risk of injury or property damage.
Design and Finish Options
Aesthetics are an important consideration in many installations, and the LCN 4040XP Series offers a range of design and finish options to suit different preferences. The standard plastic cover is non-handed and provides a clean, functional appearance. For those seeking a more premium look, an optional plated finish is available for the cover, arm, and fasteners, adding a touch of elegance to the installation.
The door closer is available in a powder coat finish offered in standard colors, with a large selection of optional custom colors to match any design scheme. For installations in corrosive conditions, an optional SRI primer is available with the powder coat finish, providing additional protection and ensuring the longevity of the door closer in challenging environments.
